But one by one she past them by
Until she caught John DisIs eye.

Such Wondcrous eyes abe ne'cr had seen

She shyly looking up at him,

His gentle words to her so fair
Refuse him. No! Her heart has gone
To him who sought it for his own.

John Groat's House,

John Groat is said to have come
from Holland to Caithness, Scot
land, in 1889; with him came his
brothers. They owned land in
Caithness and increased and multi
piled until there were eight families
Once a year they all met in the first
house they had built. At one
meeting the question of precedence
was raised and there was almost 6
fight. John o'Groats, as the Scotch
called him, who seems to have had
the most level head of them all
settled the matter temporarily ther
and said that next year he would
settle 1t finally. When the time fol
the next meeting came Johr
o'Groats had built an eight-side(
house with eight doors and win
dows; in the middle of the house h.
put a round table. By this mean,
all struggles for precedence wa:
avoided. York Sun.

THE FAIL OF DONEISON.

This poem was recently found in an

is said to have been composed by Mr..
(now Rev. r. M, Tinnon, while in
prison at Camp Douglass, i'll.
Oh, Southern valor mover quailed
Before the Yankees shining steel;
For when by treacherous foes assailed,
They scorn the fear which towards feel.
They meet on Donelson's proud heights,
The braves of Henry's dark ARRAY;
For four long days of bloodiest fight,
They held the hessian'e hounds at bay.
They fought like heroes without fear,
Resolved that they would sever yield;
TIE orphans cry, the widows tear,
Attest their courage on that field.
They pour along the mountain side,
And fill the vale with Yankees slain;
They drink Of the bloody streamlet's tide
And resume the fearful fight again.
Oh, ne'er did earth such valor see.
Since when the bold three hundred stoot
On the banks of old Thermopylee?
Its waters died with tyrant's blood.
But all in vain their bravery now,
Fresh troops assai'ed them every here
In vain they fight, in vain they vow,
For numbers conquered valor there.
In vain is Buckner's burning eye
Turned on his worn and weary men;
In vain they ring their battle cry,
For numbers empowered 'em then.
o, wretched Buckner, who can name
The pang of grief bis bosom swelleds
Or with what anguish mixed with shame
He saw his bravest troops repealed.
The sun shoots forth feeble ray,
And IRON the west shines on our foes;
But many brave man fought that day,
Who never did behold its close.
The braves Of many q Thousand deeds,
All worthy of immortal fame,
Now lie where the circling vulture feeds
Unhonored and without a name.

Bread Baked by Boiling.

A writer in a housekeeping jour
nal says bread can be boiled in
stead of baking it, and with far less
heat of the range. The new method
consists mainly in steaming the
dough instead OF cooking it in the
oven. 1t is claimed that this is a
great invention, as it saves the time
and experience necessary to get the
oven to the right heat for baking,
which has always proved the great
obstacle to baking at home. The
utensils required are simply these
First, tin mould, or camp kettle,
in which the dough is placed after
it has been mixed with the usual
ingredients-water, yeast, sugar and
salt-and secondly, a larger tin
saucepan, into which the mould

there is a tendency to produce an

The apple often requires pruning
when somewhat advanced in years.
The old stunted branches should be
cut out now and then, whenever a
young and vigorous shoot is in
clined to take its place. Peach
trees especially love this sort OF
pruning. The grapevine, when
trained on lattice work or trellises
is very liable to have its strong
branches at the end of the vine; ano
the good primer is ever on the alerr
